Repression draws attention to campus protests, like those over the conflict in Gaza, and makes them grow

Here's What Universities Always Get Wrong about Student Protests

Tesla Lays Off Entire Team Behind Brakes
  • brakes are woke and socialist and full of CRT, real Americans stick their foot out the door and shred their boots on the road to stop their car

  • Working hours required for a Starbucks latte in U.S. given minimum wage rate
  • the Daily Mail is just one big reporting error

  • That's the only reason.
  • i'm not sure either, but either way a hurt dog will holler ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Vatican calls gender fluidity and surrogacy threats to human dignity
  • idk, seems like forced birth and pedophilia are bigger threats to the dignity of the woman and the child than surrogacy

  • Strike That Killed World Central Kitchen Workers Bears Hallmarks of Israeli Precision Strike
  • that's all well and good, but one of the two will get in office no matter what. might as well suck it up and vote for the lesser evil.

    besides, you said yourself which one you'd prefer. you'd flee the country if Trump got into office, and you acknowledge that the Democrats can be shamed into doing the right thing (unlike the Republicans). if it makes the choice more palatable, think of it not as a vote for someone but a vote against someone. not voting at all is complicity.

  • World Central Kitchen halts operations in Gaza after strike kills staff
  • it isn't obvious to anyone reading mainstream news. news orgs are bending over backwards to obfuscate who's actually doing the killing (one particularly egregious example being the NYT writing a whole-ass haiku instead of stating that Israeli soldiers opened fire on Palestinians seeking aid). sure, this particular headline would be ok if it was common knowledge that Israel is causing the wanton destruction in Gaza, but thanks to every other headline being like this, it isn't

  • Strike That Killed World Central Kitchen Workers Bears Hallmarks of Israeli Precision Strike
  • this was on purpose. the World Central Kitchen notified the IDF about their movement, and their vehicles were clearly marked. there is no way this was an accident. the IDF purposely killed aid workers delivering food to Gaza. if this isn't an indicator of their genocidal intentions, i don't know what is

  • Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar
  • original report is here

  • First post
  • the shit is posting

  • specialization is for insects
  • "jack of all trades, master of none; but better than a master of one" as the old saying goes

  • What things do you refuse to pirate?
  • i refuse to pirate indie games. i will always buy games that are independently released or from small publishers because 1. they're just trying to break even (unlike publishers like EA and Activision who have millions of fans lining up to buy their repetitive junk) and 2. they almost never have DRM. i'll also buy my music for similar reasons; 99% of artists can barely make a living and i really do not want to contribute to that statistic

  • Why Republicans are fighting the basic-income programs many cities and states are adopting: 'Is money a birthright now?'
  • money isn't a birthright, but food, water, shelter, clothes, and healthcare are. if we can't be given those, we should at least be given the money to get them

  • “Wherever you get your podcasts” is a radical statement
  • oddly specific objection aside, where podcasting really shines is fiction. it's the modern version of the radio drama. fiction podcasts like Welcome to Night Vale and Find Us Alive have narratives that are tailor-made for episodic audio and would not work in any other medium. a good fiction podcast is truly wonderful to listen to

  • are code editors just text input clis and an interpreter you select
  • they are so much more than that. Builder for example has a full tree view of your project, instant compiling (well, instant in the sense that the compile button is always accessible and you don't have to leave the application to do it), live preview for markup languages, Git integration, unit tests, profiling, and several other things I can't remember right now. so no, an IDE is an entirely different beast from a text editor

  • online multiplayer in pirated games?
  • one Discord server i was on had a Minecraft server with a specific mod installed that allowed cracked copies to join, and it allowed people to lock names in with a PIN so people couldn't impersonate each other. i can't remember which mod it was though

  • online multiplayer in pirated games?
  • oh, good point about console games. i wonder if you could use multiplayer on a pirated console game with crossplay

  • confused about the concept of the lumpenproletariat

    Marx and Engels mention a class "below" the proletariat called the lumpenproletariat, which i understand as meaning a class that has no class consciousness, and is therefore susceptible to the influence of the bourgeoisie. but i don't see the difference between that and the proletariat proper. don't the proletariat receive propaganda to suppress their own class consciousness, and don't they have to be woken up? i don't get why the lumpenproletariat supposedly can't be woken up in the same way. besides, some examples of the lumpenproletariat given are people in organized crime, sex workers, and the unemployed. i find it hypocritical to condemn a class of people based on what they do to survive in a capitalist society (or in the case of the unemployed, the fact that the bourgeoisie won't give them a job). but more than anything, i'm just thoroughly confused by this concept. i feel like i'm missing something major.

    online multiplayer in pirated games?

    this isn't about anything specific, this is just a general question.

    i always assumed that multiplayer wouldn't work on pirated copies of games, or at most you'd have to play on specially configured servers. but the other day i saw a thread about a game where online multiplayer works even with pirated copies, and now i'm curious about how often that happens.

    i understand that every game is different, and i want to know: what are your experiences with online multiplayer in pirated games?

    if i had a nickel for every time...

    ...a late 2000s futuristic FPS game (with dubious status as an FPS) introducing never-before-seen movement mechanics that are used to their fullest potential featuring an athletic but non-sexualized female protagonist, had a radio-friendly song titled "Still Alive" playing over the end credits, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

    So, the Dog Caught the Car Again (an op-ed on the US's new House Speaker)
    statuskuo.substack.com So, the Dog Caught the Car Again

    This is bad, right? After three weeks of paralysis in the House, an exhausted GOP lined up behind a smiling, mild-mannered, Christo-nationalist Trump acolyte, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA). The new Speaker is an election denier who helped architect efforts in Congress to overturn the 2020 election and is...

SSSniperWolf, in response, has accused jacksfilms of freebooting off of her and sexism. on October 13, 2023, she showed up at his house and posted it on Instagram with the caption "let's talk like adults", doxxing his address to her Instagram followers. jacksfilms posted a statement on his main channel saying that he and his wife are alright, but fearful for their safety.
